We would like to run multiple domains in one WCS instance.
e.g. we want the catalogue browsing portion of our application to be: www1.s
tore.ca. The transaction order fulfilment part would be: www2.store.ca.

Does anyone know if we can do this?

We are running WCS 5.4.0.6 on AIX with WAS 4.0.7 & DB2 7.2.9

Hello,

Yes this should be relatively straight forward.

1. Define the two domains as Virtual Hosts inside WebSphere.
2. Regenerate the WebSphere plugin file (plugin-cfg.xml from the admin
console).
3. Copy it to the Web Server (if remote).
4. Recycle the Web Server (to pick up the new config).

This should tell WebSphere that both domains are supported for you site.

There are a couple of issues you need to be aware of though: -

1. WebSphere Commerce uses cookies for session management. So if you have
any other pages (other than your transaction order fulfilment parts) that
rely on you keeping the same session (or knowing who the user is) you will
have trouble. This is because browsers only return cookies to the domain
that supplied them.
2. If you want to have any other parts of your site (other than the
transaction order fulfilment parts) running on HTTPS you will need multiple
IP addresses available for you HTTP Server. I can give you more info on this
if it's an issue for you.

Cheers,
Glen.
